Allys
Allys Origin and Meaning
Allys is a feminine name that serves as a medieval variant of Alice, ultimately derived from the Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning 'noble type' or 'noble natured.' This uncommon spelling gives the familiar classic a distinctive twist while maintaining its connection to a name with deep historical roots. Allys appears in historical records from the Middle Ages but is rarely used in contemporary naming. The name has an antique charm with its 'y' spelling, evoking images of medieval manuscripts and historical literature. While Alice has remained consistently popular throughout the centuries, Allys offers parents a way to honor the traditional name while giving their daughter a more unique variant that stands out in modern contexts.
